Castles of Northern Spain

Castles of Northern SpainRoaming the mesetas of Northern Spain feels like sailing the open sea. Wide spaces of yellow grain and limestone, from which occasionally a stone ship emerges. An isolated hill or narrow ledge crowned by a crenellated wall, a keep and a few towers. It is an armada that has been blown apart by a storm centuries ago. Now its petrified remnants punctuate an empty, scintillating landscape.
